Absolute nightmare.

SS has to be concerned about copy-cat attacks on Trump AND retaliatory attacks on Biden/Harris.
I said the above as soon as I heard about this. Here is Vox saying the same.

"And when someone on one side is attacked, the other becomes more likely to respond in kind."

I'm quite surprised at 3 posts I've seen on FB (so far) from folks I barely or kind of know about this event.  They seem borderline illegal, basically wishing it was not a miss, in rather vituperative terms.  I know a lot of folks are very hard core anti-Trump, fine with me, but this level of "discourse" was a bit of a shock, to me.

Live and learn I guess, fortunately I only have slight face to face interaction with one of them.  I always thought him a bit odd, but not this odd.

This is exactly my fear and here is a flavor of the response from the other side:
"Ya’ll just woke up a nation that has been patient and respectful of your deranged views while remaining quiet the whole time…….ill be carrying my gun EVERYWHERE now"

"They took their shot and they MISSED!!!!!!!!

They have no idea what they have just awakened."

Like your clients?

There were some that expressed happiness when JFK died.  I never understood that

Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20 year old Republican. Must have been a Desantis man.
And, the liberal acts like a dick- again.  

At least get it right.   Sending his money to the progressives.

There's no prudent opinion other than to wish this didn't happen and to acknowledge that it's sad someone innocent died, but that the targeted person is just fine. 
A sadistic/troubled/evil person failed and that is good.
He is dead and probably deserves that. 
His politics are irrelevant, either way.  He chose to do something unconscionable and that was obviously wrong.

Trump was president when this guy was 13-16 years old.  He was obviously deranged in some way.  Hell, he was as likely to do this to impress a girl as any real, actual political reason.  Stupid/broken/out of his mind.  That's the only frame of mind a person could be in order to attempt such an act.

Copied from a friend on FB

[color=var(--primary-text)]When I was on Obama’s detail taking him on his first trip into Baghdad with BW (he was a Senator running for President), I was driving the emergency response vehicle (a bearcat) with an AF JTAC sitting behind me talking to the Apache helicopter pilot flying above us. When I saw President Bush at a campaign stop in ‘04 here in Ohio, secret service snipers covered EVERY elevated building at all times. Some were not even facing the stage. It is beyond comprehension for me as someone who used to work in high threat personal protection that this was allowed to happen. Conspiracy theories are warranted here. Less than 200 meters away. I wouldnt have missed with iron sights from that distance.[/color]

It's more polite to make fun of my felon clients who get shot at.

Evidently it's polite & open season with sick sarcasm on a former president though. How many of your clients were shooting 1st? Pretty sure DT wasn't firing at anyone
